Thank you for doing this! Mine has changed to the 21st of June according to my most recent scan.

Oh, and today I feel great! I am thinking that the nausea and cold symptoms have left me, and it feels terrific! My milestone is that my tummy has finally popped out! V was out at our rental property doing some work yesterday, and she came home and said, 'Wow babe! That's some belly!' its fun

Also, I discovered A Pea in the Pod this weekend. I got some (expensive!) but nice clothes, and bought a Snoogle, which looks and sounds silly, but is really helping me sleep more comfortably.

tdmklm · January 2013

All is well... But the nausea... Oh, the nausea! Ick! We have our first appointment with our doctor on Friday, so that will be cool!

In other news, MIL is coming to visit for a week. God help us all. Wink

Hi all - I haven't been posting in the Bump for a few weeks due to my insanely large signature pic. I've done everything - deleting the link, deleting cookies, logging out, restarting my computer and emailing the bump. Nothing is working. So I've been silent. Here's my one and only post until it is solved. Please enjoy the life-size picture of my son.

I got my BFP on dec 10th and had my first u/s this morning. We saw a beautiful heart rate of 168 and the baby was measuring perfectly! I have my first ob appointment tomorrow. I'm pretty nauseous and it is kicking my behind. I had no morning sickness with N, not a moment, so it's throwing me for a loop. And I'm exhausted - ohsoexhausted - but I can't complain since I am a SAHM and take 2 naps a day with my little boy

Due date: August 23? I haven't been given my date yet but this is what I am coming up with.

2MamazInSeattle · January 2013

Please add me to the list! Due date is 8/29/13 based on our IVF transfer date.

We had an early first ultrasound at 6w1d on Friday and were lucky enough to see the heartbeat! The count was around 111, which is fine for that early and she said it was probably higher just really hard to count. We have a second ultrasound at 8w1d in 2 weeks...

Otherwise, feeling pretty good! Sometimes tired in unexpected ways, but managing that with lots of 45-60 min. walks and prenatal yoga classes or video at home. Exercise seems the only thing that brings me back to life. No morning sickness (knock on wood) or smell/food issues. So far, other than fatigue and super big/sore boobs, all seems well. Fingers crossed this continues!

Thanks for doing the checkin! Best to all the pregnant ladies!

jennicole85 · January 2013

Still trucking along here. I'm finally getting the second tri energy that I've heard so much about, yay! The nausea is gone for the moment as well!

We had another ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. Heart rate was 160 and baby was measuring perfectly on track. Now if we could only get the baby to sit still long enough to hear him I'd her on doppler...

Finally, we came out to both of our jobs and families. Both of our bosses and coworkers are super excited for us! My family is super pumped. My parents are really excited because this will be their first grandchild however we also learned that my brother and SIL are due two months after us! So exciting!

J told her mom. That didn't go over very well... She says she wants nothing to do with this baby so, as you could imagine, we're pretty devistated. We're trying to give her some space for now and just see if she will eventually come around.

Sorry if there are tons of spelling or punctuation errors, I'm bumping from my phone today.

Twinkler2011 · January 2013

Yayyy the 3rd trimester has finally began!

Last night laying in bed, I watched my entire belly move. It was amazing & the first time I had seen him so active from the outside. I could always feel him in there moving like crazy but this was awesome.

The peeing has def picked up. I have so much pressure on my cervix its crazy. I cant imagine it getting worse over the next almost 3 months.

Come on April 5th, Im ready!!!!

newmompeanut · January 2013

I'd love to be added! I'm due 2/14/13 with a girl

The third trimester is definitely the roughest for me so far! My butt is getting kicked. After a scare in Labor and Delivery on Thursday and continuous sharp pain on my right side (possibly gallstones) I'm ready to be done! Only a couple more weeks until the LO is done cooking!

karah0011 · January 2013

I have just over 2 months left and I hope it comes quick! I am pretty much done being pregnant and ready to meet my baby girl. My wife was out of town for 5 days and came home in shock when she saw my belly! It has grown so much this month! I can't imagine growing for 2 more months!!! Nursery is complete, shower is in 3 weeks, and nesting is in full force.

Can't wait to meet Kenley!

2moms2b · January 2013

We are two days shy of the 34 week milestone with twins so that feels great! My cervix is still holding at right around 1cm that is also really good news (5 weeks and no progress so yay for modified bed rest!). We will find out more on Thursday at our very long appointment that will include a growth scan, BPP and NST.

On the flip side, I am so done being pregnant. Mentally I will do whatever is necessary to keep these boys in until full term but my body is done. I am now measuring almost 46 weeks, don't remember what ankles and calves are and I am exhausted all the time. Heartburn and nausea are killing me daily and I would really love to sleep more than 2 hours at a time but a baby on the bladder, has me up every few hours to potty. I think I have hit that final wall that you just kinda have to remind yourself to put one foot in front of the other and breath. I will say that mentally I am holding pretty strong right now despite the physical pain.

M sees how hard this is getting on me and does an amazing job and reminding me throughout the day, what a great job I am doing. Also I got some kind words from the ladies on the multiples board this morning and they reminded me from this point out, every 1 more day I keep them cooking is 2 days less in the NICU/special care nursery so if that's not motivation I don't know what is.

I started a blog for the boys where I moved all the letters I have written then throughout the pregnancy. I am really excited to have somewhere to put it all and somewhere to put my thoughts as we navigate parenthood.

I hope everyone is doing well and holding strong!

Wow, I'm so sorry. That just sucks. Hang in there and hold on tight to all the positive support you ARE getting. And then, well, there's always us!

I'm chugging along as well. My biggest issue is still just this cough/cold that I've had for almost 2 months now. I'm definitely better, just not quite done with it yet.

I'm finally measuring back in a normal range (about 1 week ahead) so that makes me happy. The little guy is moving around like crazy, and I love it. I feel like a human fishbowl, if that makes sense to anyone else out there.

We have a looooong list of intimidating things that need to get done, like meeting with/choosing a lawyer, figuring out health insurance for the LO, completing all my maternity leave paperwork, finishing the nursery, etc. But at least I can check 1 thing off of my list - we've hired a Doula! Yay! I'm so excited to have that settled, and really excited to work with her.

Reading everyone's updates this week really made my day today.

Her loss. Her loss. Her loss. I'm so sorry she's being a complete ass, and I'm glad you have support from others. Hugs to you both.

I am so sorry to hear this I hope that all the other positive energy that you seem to have around you, and the joy of your new journey carries you through the hard days.

jennicole85 · January 2013

Thank you all for your kind words. We're so lucky to have all of the support that we do, including this board!

trisholio · January 2013

This is so fun and exciting to read about all of the babies being born soon! If possible could you update if everyone is having boy/girl. If they even know :-) I know that statistically lesbians tend to have boys, so I was just curious.

jeannkerricotober09 · January 2013

we will be team green, again.

JoySeattle · January 2013

I'm feeling amazing (mentally) because we got to see our little bean on u/s today!

Today we went an appt with my OB (even though we'll transfer care and plan a home birth) so that we could have an early u/s for reassurance. C took a video during and was so cute, holding my arm and double checking with the doc that there was only one (twins run in my family). We were happy with her response of just one in there. Baby is measuring exactly on target at 8w6d and we joked about how sure we are of the conception timing. The ob printed us each a pic of our little gummy bear blob.

We're now in travel planning mode to visit family to share the news in person with as many as possible on the West coast. I've also booked consults with the home birth midwives we want to meet with.

Physically I'm still tried, nauseated if I don't eat regularly (snacking is my savior and I was amazed I lost 2 lbs in the past few weeks instead of gaining 10), and now that I'm over my cold I'm ready to get back to exercise (walking mainly, plus starting swimming and yoga soon).

h00l · January 2013

Hi! This is my first post on this board. I've made one post on the May 2013 board but mostly I'm a lurker. I am 20 weeks and officially halfway there! Woohoo! Feeling great for the most part but starting to feel the aches and pains in full force! Especially since I work on my feet all day! My official due date is May 27. Glad to "meet" you!

greenparrot01 · January 2013

So glad to have found this forum!

My partner and I are expecting August 26, 2013. I'd love to be on your list!
